No, I had no uncommitted changes (and if I had, that would have been my own fault.) Don't get me wrong. I didn't want you to do all language updates automatically, but there would have been another (a better) way to deal with the translations: Going the way I described, I managed to get down to 1 fuzzy and 5 untranslated strings with the work of 1 hour. And I will be able to do that for many other languages too. > > > So that does not justify to wipe away so much translated content IMHO! > > That's a side effect of the use of conversion script.

But that's not the problem, see above. Holger -- Holger Wansing <hwans...@mailbox.org> PGP-Fingerprint: 496A C6E8 1442 4B34 8508 3529 59F1 87CA 156E B076
